+1 on China Miéville. I just finished his Embassytown, and I'm still thinking through all the implications and awesome concepts it had.

To anon who asked for the rec: Embassytown is about a pretty recently established human colony in the middle of a recently-ish discovered alien planet, home to a species called Ariekei. They have two mouths and speak with both of them at once, and can't comprehend anything as a sentient species that doesn't also speak with one mind behind two voices, so humans have had to develop these Ambassadors (clones who are raised to be the same person, and can speak the two parts together) to communicate with them. The course of the book follows a crisis and subsequent revolution, due to the humans accidentally turning the Ariekei into hopeless addicts. It had really fascinating concepts about language, and was pretty successful in designing a truly (nearly incomprehensibly so) alien species.
